Paramecium does not make its own food, it is a consumer.
A paramecium stores its food in small vacuoles within its cytoplasm. These vacuoles form when the paramecium engulfs food particles through a process called phagocytosis. Once inside the vacuoles, enzymes help digest the food for energy.
The protist that has an oral groove is Paramecium. The oral groove is a structure found in Paramecium used for feeding and taking in food particles. This ciliated protist sweeps food particles into the oral groove, where they are engulfed and digested.
A paramecium uses phagocytosis to form a food vacuole. In this process, the paramecium surrounds the food particle with its cell membrane, forming a vacuole containing the food. The food vacuole then fuses with lysosomes to digest the food.

A food vacuole in a paramecium is a small space within the cell where food particles are engulfed and digested. It helps the paramecium to obtain nutrients from its environment and store them for energy production. Once the digestion is complete, the remaining waste is expelled from the cell.
Undigested food leaves the Paramecium through a structure called the anal pore, which serves as the organism's anus. The anal pore is located at the posterior end of the Paramecium and allows undigested food particles to be expelled from the cell.
Paramecium have an oral groove that is connected to a cytopharynx that leads to a food vacuole.
